Week One
Facilitator Materials Needed:
The Way of Mastery
A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students (ACIM Workbook)
1. Facilitator: Bismallah
We begin by remembering the sound and feeling of the One Being, the
wellspring of love. We affirm that the next thing we experience shimmers with
the light of the whole universe.
2. Facilitator: Read The Way of Mastery, Lesson One. Ask participants to
listen to the reading and take notes on anything their heart prompts them to
take notes on. Let them know they will be invited to share from their notes
after the reading. As you read, feel free to pause and comment as you feel
prompted.
3. Facilitator: Participant Sharing from the Reading. This serves two
purposes: It gets participants actively involved, which is a necessary
component of this group. It also reemphasizes some main points and serves
as a participant-centered summary of the reading.
4. Facilitator: Ground Rules for the Group:
a. Honesty
b. “It’s always about me.” No blaming.
c. No advice giving.
d. If you didn’t do the homework, don’t participate in the discussion.
e. Keep a homework journal.
f. Follow your own guidance for additional homework.
5. Facilitator & Self-Study: Read Introduction to the ACIM Workbook
6. Homework Assignment A: ACIM Workbook Lessons 1-7
a. First read the lesson all the way through and then practice the lesson
according to its instructions
b. If you have done the ACIM workbook before, you may add what you
hear and feel to the exercises for Lessons 1-3
c. As you do exercises 1-3, you may notice the meaning you have given
to things. Just notice and continue with the exercise
d. Tip for Lesson 4: Sometimes people have trouble remembering to do
the workbook lesson when it is to be done more than twice per day.
They get on with their day and forget all about the lesson. Here's a tip:
When you finish the workbook lesson 4 in the morning, make a
decision about when you will do it next. After you do the lesson the

second time, make a decision about when to do it again. After the third
time, make a decision about when to do it for the fourth time. If you
make a conscious decision about when you will do the exercise next,
you are less likely to forget to do it.
7. Homework Assignment B: Read NTI Luke, Chapters 12 (p151-155) and
Chapters 16-17 (p161-167).
a. Do not read all at once. Read a little each day contemplatively.
b. Explore the reading through journaling. Journal clarity, questions,
confusion, resistance, willingness, etc.
c. If there is a Bible icon before a verse reference, read those verses from
the Bible before reading that interpretation from NTI

Week Two
Facilitator Materials Needed:
NTI
The Teachings of Inner Ramana (Inner Ramana)
ACIM Workbook
1. Facilitator: Review Ground Rules for the Group:
a. Honesty
b. “It’s always about me.” No blaming.
c. No advice giving.
d. If you didn’t do the homework, don’t participate in the discussion.
e. Keep a homework journal.
f. Follow your own guidance for additional homework.
2. Participant Sharing: Go over participant’s journals, questions & insights.
Review NTI Luke 12, 16-17.
3. Facilitator & Self-Study: How to Reprogram the Brain (change/undo
conditioning):
a. Open-heart increases efficacy. Joy, willingness, positive desire. Note: If
your goal is negative (such as stop suffering) consider a positive goal
(such as freedom or happiness).
b. Repetition & practice with new programming such as resting the
mind, remembering the daily lesson, thinking of your spiritual
aspiration, etc.
c. Visualization. For example, imagine yourself resting the mind, imagine
yourself remembering to do the workbook lessons, imagine yourself
wanting awakening/truth more than anything else, etc. The brain
cannot tell the difference between something real and imagined.
Research shows that anytime you are thinking, you are engaged in
conditioning neural pathways.
d. Meditation. Concentrated rest away from mental activity. (Meditation
will be introduced into our daily practice later.)
e. Observe/watch old programming without feeding it. Be aware of it,
but don’t believe it or fight against it. As you watch, become familiar
with your triggers. For example, what does it feel like in your body
just before and old neuro-pathway begins to fire?
